Released as Shepherd Moons РІР‚в„ўР’В third single, BookР’В OfР’В Days was first recorded as an instrumental for Ron HowardРІР‚в„ўs movie FarР’В AndР’В Away ,Р’В starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. РІР‚СљI sung 500 times because I got so involved with the melody.РІР‚СњР’В Soon,Р’В the album gives way toР’В the lulling piano tones of the instrumental No HollyР’В ForР’В Miss Quinn, named after a story by the English novelist Miss Read. РІР‚СљWith the voices,Р’В I sing it all in real time and emotionallyР’В РІР‚вЂњР’В this can be quite draining,РІР‚Сњ EnyaР’В told Canadian TVРІР‚в„ўsР’В MuchMusicР’В channel. Р”В®lsewhere on the album, the enchanting and otherworldlyР’В EbudР“В¦Р’В РІР‚вЂњР’В based on a Latin name for the HebridesР’В РІР‚вЂњР’В layers EnyaРІР‚в„ўsР’В Scotch GaelicР’В vocals,Р’В swayingР’В like a magic mist.Р’В Throughout Shepherd Moons, care and attentionР’В isР’В given toР’В the singerРІР‚в„ўsР’В calming and radiant voiceР’В РІР‚вЂњР’В so much so, she recorded over hundreds of vocal tracks for Angeles. РІР‚Сњ Released as Shepherd Moon РІР‚в„ўs second single, it reached No.19 in the UK. РІР‚Сљ They talked about the trouble in the world, the strife, the turmoil. РІР‚СљI felt the melody was very beautiful, and the lyrics were very strong,РІР‚Сњ Enya told the Melbourne, Australia-based broadcaster 3LO Radio. РІР‚Сљ The lyrics talked about the trouble in the world, the strife, the turmoil РІР‚СњР”Р„ recording of a 250-year- old religious hymn, the sparse and seraphic How Can I Keep F rom Singing?, lends a touch of a holy reverence to a song about being rendered mute by the troubles of the world. РІР‚СљThe world had not known, but all the time they were there, working tirelessly, РІР‚Сњ Ryan said. The recordРІР‚в„ўs celestial title came from a Voyager shuttle discovery РІР‚вЂњ after beaming back images from space of two moons near Saturn protecting the planetРІР‚в„ўs rings, lyricist Rom a Ryan poetically interpreted them as shepherds.

Shepherd Moons itself followed on 4 November 1991, opening with a gentle choral introduction that fills listenersРІР‚в„ў ears like chants in a monastery and leads to the soothing piano instrumental of the albumРІР‚в„ўs title track. The animation perfectlyР’В capturedР’В the essence of the songРІР‚в„ўs message:Р’В РІР‚СљThe song itself is about a journey through a very beautiful paradise land,РІР‚Сњ the singer added. РІР‚СљThere were ten artists who had worked three weeks painting every second frame to give this effect of paintings coming alive,РІР‚СњР’В sheР’В said. Inspired by the artist Maxfield Parrish, EnyaР’В wore long seahorse earringsР’В in the clipР’В and immersed herself in neo-classical imagery. WithР’В EnyaРІР‚в„ўs vocals aerating around a dreamy waltz-like rhythm, the singleР’В peakedР’В at No.8 inР’В the UK, aided byР’В a colourfully arty music video.

РІР‚СљThe world had not known, but all the time they were there, working tirelesslyРІР‚СњР”Р„fter exhaustive work in DublinРІР‚в„ўs Aigle and LondonРІР‚в„ўs SarmР’В Studios, it took threeР’В yearsР’В before Enya was finally ready to blessР’В her audienceР’В with new music.Р’В Caribbean Blue,Р’В the lead single from Shepherd Moons, was released in October 1991 and once again charmed listenersР’В eager for more ofР’В her idiosyncratic style of New Age Pop. The fate of Shepherd Moons was, however, written in the stars. No doubt aware of the commercial pressures, but also keen to stay true to her artistic vision, Enya had no way of knowing just how successful her follow-up would become. Such a winning formula of Celtic-inspired ambient pop was a tough act to follow, but EnyaРІР‚в„ўs third album, Shepherd Moons, emerged as a labour of love, once again mixing lyricist Roma RyanРІР‚в„ўs mystic poetry with producer Nicky RyanРІР‚в„ўs affection for Beach Boys-inspired harmonies. Following the huge success of EnyaРІР‚в„ўs second album, Watermark, and its breakthrough single, Orinoco Flow, in 1988, the Irish vocalist and songwriter found herself selling four million records worldwide.
